So I came across this program, it's kind of like a P2P network like Limewire, but the stuff you choose to share is only available to people you add as contacts. You can choose what folders you want to share and even exclude certain files if you wish.

So all you do is download the program ( http://www.gigatribe.com/ ) and make an account, then start adding contacts who you wish to share with. Check it out.

well all it is is file sharing with a built in instant messenger, theres no tagged photos or wall posts or any of that stuff. limewire is shit because theres so many viruses and crappy files, and you run the risk of running into legal issues. this program only lets you share and download with people who are your friends/contacts, and what you choose to share is up to you.

Sounds almost identical to Soulseek to me, which is what, 8/9 years old?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, especially when he brought up the instant messaging.

ok? then dont use it.

but for anyone who does, add me and we'll swap some files :eek:

the point of this was for people on metalsetlists to have a way to share files with each other.
